New plant Tectubi Fittings Co. Ltd in Tianjin - China

In 1985, Allied USA had already started its business in China supporting the then already established local market. Now in the 21st century, the Allied International Group has strengthened its activities through Tectubi Raccordi S.p.A., well known in China as a world leading high pressure fittings manufacturer and has successfully developed its market in not only the Petrochemical and Gas Pipeline areas, but also aggressively in the booming Power Industry.

Now Tectubi Raccordi has constituted a newco Tectubi (Tianjin) Fittings Co. Ltd in China, with an investment plan focused to suitably support new Chinese projects in the nuclear industry.

The new plant, which foresees the recruitment of 200 employees, will start the production cycle in mid-2009, after which it will gradually be brought to a total production of 15,000 tonnes a year. The main products are hot finished, mandrel and seamless and Buttwelding fittings, hot leg and superpipes.

The new plant, with a total surface of 68,000 sqm (covered 35,000 sqm), is located in the centre of Dongli Economic and Technological Development Area (DEDA) and will allow Tectubi (Tianjin) Fittings to be included in the Localization Program supported by the Chinese Government. The factory will be equipped with the most advanced equipment while all the “key” technical personnel have been trained in Italy.

Proximity with Chinese customers and the combination of Italian expertise and Chinese production speed are the ingredients of a sure success.

The long-term goal is to play a dominating role as the main supplier in critical services such as Super Critical Thermal Power Plant operations, Nuclear Power Plants, LNG Terminals, Gas Pipelines, Petrochemical and Chemical Industries, by establishing a warehouse to fulfil the objectives of a round-the-clock service commitment to customers in China and through sharing resources of our international Group production and warehouse resources.
